Colour and coloration Flashcards
4 ways in which dyes are bonded to a fibre
Iconic bonding
Covalent
Hydrogen
Van der waals
What are two important variables when dyeing?
Temperature and ph of the dyebath
Boiling point of a acid dye
100 oc
What are three classifications of drugs
Synthetic cellulosic protein fibres
Acid dyes (protein and nylon fibres
When the ph is above 5, the fibre becomes a positive charge
Ph of water is adjusted with acid which is an negative charge, overall neutral
What charge is an acid dye
Neutral
Direct dyes (cellulosic)
Due is a long flat molecular shape, slots in the spaces.
Dyebath is negative
Direct dyes are negative
Sodium is added to make the fibre neutral
What is added to make direct dyes neutral
Sodium (salt)
What charge is the dyebath and the dyes
Both negative
Reactive dyes
Same as direct expect an alkali is added at the end which creates a chemical reaction
Disperse dyes
Polyester dyes are hydrophobic need to be dyed with the same characteristics
What is the building temperature of direct dyes (polyester)
130o
Techniques used for dying
Batiq ikat, shibori silk screening etc
